Keeps rolling in rout Agbaji recorded 25 points (10-19 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, three assists and two steals over 30 minutes during Thursday's 88-59 win over Stony Brook.
Impact Agbaji made it three-for-three in games scoring at least 25 points. He was the team's leading scorer a year ago, but with all the players Kansas returned and added via the transfer portal it was hard to envision Agbaji leading the nation in scoring early in the season. Things may change when Jalen Wilson returns to the lineup and their new additions get more comfortable, however. Kansas will face North Texas next Thursday.
